What is a certificate of origin used for?
A certificate of origin states the country where goods were manufactured or produced. Customs authorities and importers use it to clear international shipments, apply the correct duties or tariffs, and confirm eligibility for trade agreements. It is a key document in cross-border trade and shipping.
What information does a certificate of origin contain?
It typically lists the exporter and importer, a description and quantity of the goods, the country of origin, the transport details, and an authorized signature. Some require certification by a chamber of commerce. Accurate details ensure customs can verify origin and process the shipment without delay.
What is the difference between a preferential and non-preferential certificate of origin?
A preferential certificate qualifies goods for reduced duties under a trade agreement between specific countries. A non-preferential one simply states origin without conferring tariff benefits. Knowing which applies depends on the trade route and any agreements, since it directly affects the duties charged at the border.
